    Look at an E30 for me in Lynwood? -Indiana buyer

    Help R3v!
    Here is the car I'm interested in buying. In Lynwood, CA 90262.
    http://www.latinosautossales.com/sites/web/iLD.php?used_car=1989-BMW-3_Series-325i&iid=1362254359&siteID=y3ag73u9gvenwv4
    Since I live so far away viewing the car myself isn't possible. The sales people aren't very willing/capable of answering my detailed questions and dont want to go to the trouble of taking more pictures for an out of state buyer... Unfortunately I've been looking for a clean 4 door so long that rudeness doesnt send me packing.

    I hoped a fellow R3v member could go look at the car for me. If someone is willing please PM me or call me at 317-430-4801, my name is John. I have specific things I'd like you to look for when you go see it so please contact me prior to your visit so I can advise you of my concerns!
    Thanks guys

    *Please also let me know if this post would get better respinse in another sub-forum.

    i work near enough, i'll go if i can this week, i'll give you a call prior to heading out if i can actually go. looks clean, but i will say that alot of the used dealerships in that area arent the people you want to buy a car from.

      Thanks a lot! Yeah they were pretty scetchy over the phone, but hey it's a black 4dr and its a 5spd. Unfortunatly they couldnt even tell me when the timing belt had last been changed. That doesnt bode well for a 2100mi drive home...

            Btw I ran the VIN and it had 0 accidents and no issues with ODO reporting. Which makes me even more interested.

            I check R3v daily and craigslist nationwide every three days. I've been looking for over a year. I've bought and sold a car from PA b/c it didnt suit me. Maybe I'm too picky or maybe there's something I'm missing. What are your methods for finding cars?

            Since I'm out of state I have no idea what lynwood is like... It could be Boca-Raton for all I know. Care to specify?

              You're traveling 2,100 miles to buy that car? That's insane.


              Keep looking.
